Definitions

  • the battery lid can be movably mounted on the vacuum cleaner for transfer from the closed position to the open position and vice versa.
  • a section of the filter cover 54 is of plate-shaped configuration, see, in particular, FIG. 2 , and is mounted on the top part 34 so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 56 .
  • the filter cover 54 has, at the front in the longitudinal direction of the vacuum cleaner 10 , a bearing element 58 , which interacts with a bearing element 60 of corresponding construction on a partition wall 62 of the top part 34 to form a hinge.
  • the partition wall 62 starts from a top side 64 of the vacuum cleaner 10 and extends downwards as far as a plate-shaped section of the filter cover 54 .
  • the pivot axis 56 is horizontally aligned, in relation to a positioning of the vacuum cleaner 10 on a horizontal floor surface 66 ( FIG. 3 ), and it extends in the transverse direction of the vacuum cleaner 10 .
  • the battery receptacles 92 are each of shaft-shaped configuration and horizontally aligned and comprise an opening 94 arranged at the rear side 16 .
  • the respective battery 90 can be inserted into and removed from the respective battery receptacle 92 via the opening 94 .
  • the horizontal alignment of the battery receptacles 92 makes a constructionally simple configuration possible, in which the batteries 90 can be supported downwards on bottoms of the battery receptacles 92 . Furthermore, it is difficult for dirt to accumulate in the battery receptacles 92 , unlike in battery receptacles, for example, which extend upwards and have openings located at the top.
